Now there is very little reassurance left from Palazzo San Giorgio. «The latest delays were generated by the erosion phenomenon» explains the municipal councilor for public works, Franco Costantino. The summer of 2025 should be the one that returns the redeveloped Lungomare to the community of Catona which for two years now has been waiting to be able to regain possession of its favorite place. The 1.5 million euro work financed with Pon Metro resources should have been completed in 2023. There were many “stumbles” that slowed down the construction site’s activities. «The substantial part of the intervention has been completed, as has the energy efficiency of the public lighting system and the redevelopment of the green area.
Unfortunately, the erosive phenomenon that occurred in the southern area right on the “border” with Gallico made further intervention necessary. Safety measures are being taken so that the same damage cannot occur in the future. The pavement resurfacing work is now underway. According to the program we had foreseen, the construction site should have been closed before the end of the year, then this unforeseen event extended the timescale” clarifies councilor Costantino who has been leading the difficult public works sector for a year. Meanwhile, to enrich the furnishings of the green area, other funding is being identified to install an equipped area dedicated to children with rides and a fitness area for exercise in the open area.
In other words, the long-awaited happy ending could be really close. Certain the operation was painful. The restyling of the approximately two kilometers of coast proceeded at a very slow pace, so much so that all the appointments set by the timetable were missed and generated quite a few inconveniences to the community of residents and business owners who for two summers had to welcome bathers with the coastline plastered ” from the construction site.
